Comments on: TinyURL: the Hidden Gem Making Micro-Blogging Easier http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2007/03/11/tinyurl-the-hidden-gem-making-micro-blogging-easier/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea.

Companies too are able to benefit from this opportunity and use the RSS feed tools to display their latest micro-blogs in their entirety. Add to this the opportunity to use tinyurl and you are flying! I really do see micro-blogging as the new method to communicate.
